This autumn, new items with wealth of options will be added to the Maruni Collection: the Hiroshima series which has become the standard series of Maruni Wood Industry, and the Roundish and Lightwood series that were newly announced this spring.

Roundish chair will now be available with the cushioned seat, which creates a beautiful oneness with the wood. The fabric used is the same as that of Hiroshima, making it easy to match colors with both series. Elegant autumn-like textures such as the beautiful Belgian fabric with rich colors and refined ivory colored leather have been newly added. Now with the comfort of the cushioned seat, the new Roundish chair provides a more relaxed and comfortable sitting with its pleasant seat and back that fits to the body.
Lightwood will now be available in red and black finished birch; two colors that will look good with the birch’s texture; and oak which is known for its bold wood grains. The new color finishes that have been applied thinly to the wood surface give an elegant look combined with the silhouette of the chair and lightly noticeable wood grains. It is graceful but still has an eye-catching existence. The Corian top tables for Lightwood, which have been receiving many inquiries, will also be available for ordering.
Table sizes will be as follows: Roundish- W1600, 2000, 2400 (mm); and Lightwood- W1300, 1600, 1800, 2000, 2200, 2400 (mm). These multiple size options will help design any space.
*Corian table top is only available for Lightwood.
For Hiroshima, ithe much-awaited walnut material is now available. Walnut will be available for the Armchair (wooden and cushioned seat), and the dining table (160/180/Extension table). The striking wood grains and the rich coloration of the walnut give deep relaxation and a luxurious look.

The Hiroshima Arm chair will be available in a new walnut material from this fall. We have been receiving many requests about making this chair in walnut. The beautiful and clear wood grains of the walnut together with the exquisite design of the Hiroshima created an arm chair that has certain gravity in style and elegance, where you would want to rest your body deeply onto.
New wood materials and different finishes have gradually been added since the launch of the chair in 2008, and now there will be a total of 8 different options available for the Hiroshima Arm chair. We hope that you will be able to experience the comfort of the chair and the fascination of walnut which our design and technology was able to draw out by determining the wood’s nature.

We have released Maruni Collection 2011 — the two new furniture series — at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile.

Roundish by Naoto Fukasawa literally has a striking roundish curve in the back and seat. The view from the back is especially beautiful. The back is created with three different curvature. This exquisite curve in the back and seat lets the sitter fit comfortably as if the chair is wrapped around your body. This chair gives you a sense of ease as well as relaxation.

Jasper Morrison’s Lightwood is also literally named for it’s lightweight feature- only 2.5 to 3kg. It is suitable for variety of uses due to its different choice of the seat; fabric, leather, webbing and mesh. Its elegantly curved legs and the lightweight looking structure are some of the reasons for its sculpture-like beauty.

Both chairs made use of the masterful craftsmanship and the fineness of machine manufacturing that Maruni Wood Industry excels in. From this well-thought design and exquisite construction, we are sure that you will be able to feel its comfort, the strong durability which makes it long-lasting, the flavor that adds over time, and the fascination and possibility of these wooden furniture.
